A person reading Classical Chinese should be able to discern its meaning and not really notice the source is from Vietnam. According to ISO 639, `vi` is the code for Vietnamese. `vi-Hani` cannot represent //chữ nho// because //chữ nho// is not a written form of the Vietnamese language per se. But `lzh` does represent Classical Chinese, including //chữ nho//. > But even though this is how it should be, one also has to note that "Hani" is only understood as "Hanzi, Kanji, Hanja", not "Hanzi, Kanji, Hanja, chữ Nôm/Hán tự". I'm worried we would be sidestepping the ISO, even if we know what Hán tự is. Is it technically correct to interpret the English name of `Hani` in ISO 15924 so literally? After all, //chữ Nôm// differs from //chữ nho// in terms of language usage and many specific characters, but the CJKV writing systems have been unified <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_unification#Examples_of_language-dependent_glyphs> into a single subset of Unicode, including //chữ Nôm//. On the other hand, ISO 15924 does contain codes for typographic variants of scripts like Nastaliq Arabic (`Aran`) and Gaelic Latin (`Latg`). Ken Lunde (2009) <https://books.google.com/books?id=SA92uQqTB-AC&pg=PA570> writes that //chữ Nôm// had a dedicated script code of `Cu` in ISO 15924:2004 (which has since been superseded by ISO 15924:2022). Does anyone have more information about these two-letter codes or why //chữ Nôm// didn’t get a four-letter code corresponding to this two-letter code?
